I think this means that we will be getting a tease or a look at the villain for Last Knight on the 31(currently the 28th when I am writing this) or maybe the movie will release on May 31 of what ever year. I definitely think we will be getting something on the 31 though.

Wait, wasn't Galvatron voiced by Leonard Nimoy? Maybe that forced them to go back to Megs rather than get a new voice actor and have them sound different (not that Galvatron really said anything in AoE ) I could see Galvatron 'shedding' his new human-given form and name and reclaiming his old name and Cybertronian body-style out of pride and vanity

No, no, Galvatron was voiced by Frank Welker. It was Nimoy in the G1 movie.

I'm thinking the same thing. I'm not really bothered because we have an amazing writing team taking on these movies.
That being said its never been the writing that's been an issue for me. It's the god awful editing! And I find enjoyment in all the movies but yeah, Bay in the editing room...yikes.
Megatron coming back Is interesting. His head(and maybe his body) are intact and what if we will get both Megatron and Galvatron and Galvatron is just a copy of Megatrons consciousness.

It should, if there's one character trait the movies have given him, it's ego for days, so play it up and it will actually work, it's basic stuff really

This thread is now awesome! I'm waiting for the point that studios decide to go the sitcom route and assume there is a reset button at the end of any episode rather than worry about pointless continuities that no one can keep straight.

Plus Aoe Galvatron was just a clone in a sense so we could have an idw situation and have both Megatron and Galvatron.

Well, it wasn't a clone, it was Megatron, in a new body, his old body was pretty f'ed up by the end of dotm, so starting fresh with the body the humans gave him to start reformatting himself makes sense. In other words, they need the BW Stasis Chambers

Id be okay with that as long as we never get AOE transformations again. That was honestly my least favorite thing in that movie. human transformers AND the autobots. Even the autobots transformations haven't been great since DOTM. Everyone just morphs into robot mode. I still remember Sentinal Prime morphing into a fire truck at the end when he tried to fee Optimus. Just looks so bad compared to the transformations in the first two.

Hmmm, instead of increasing the "villian's of the week", they should focus on introducing/utilizing a small, core cast of 's

oooo you just had to bring that up. I wouldn't even want an adaptation of that. We'll get a twist that not only is Optimus a prime from the ancient days and a knight for some reason but we'll get the twist that Optimus has been a decepticon agent all along!!!

Anyway, the complaint about the treatment of decepticons is a hard one to solve as on the big screen, people want to see the bad guys dealt with (minor villains may escape but we want to see justice dealt); it won't do any good to see the bad guys just retreat like the g1 toon.

But... isn't that pretty much what they've done for the whole series so far?
Starscream in the first one, Starscream and Megatron in the second. The third I'll allow. The fourth is another retreat.
